Hey John, I understand that the Swift team wants to move to GitHub at the earliest possible time. However, can you elaborate as to why this is of *pressing* importance? Besides a preference for Git and GitHub's code hosting facilities, is there specific functionality that GitHub provides you that your team simply cannot do without (and thus have a pressing importance to move to)? > The swift team is anxiously awaiting our move to git/github, and I've been > getting questions about it almost daily.

I'm currently thinking a move to > github can be a requirement for our 1.4.2 release. That work is ongoing and involves Monty and Andy Smith. In addition, I'm going to be asking Jim Blair, a new hire on our team, to focus on this as well. While Andy Smith has documented how to migrate (everything) over to GitHub, there are known issues around pull requests not having a granular enough status to work with our automated patch queue management and review process. While it may be fine for Swift, where there are far fewer developers, bugs and blueprints, for Nova, we can't risk doing a move without fully thinking out the plan and paying attention to all the details. The issues with GitHub's pull requests are known. The proposed solution (to look for 2 "lgtm"s in review comments) is not enough in my opinion. Monty has asked for assistance in contacting developers at GitHub in order to address the issues with pull requests not having sufficient status granularity and not having the ability to enforce review procedures (2 approves from nova-core members for the Nova project). If you or anyone else on the PPB can assist Monty by providing contact information for people at GitHub that can effect changes to the interface (and API), that would be most appreciated. Migrating *code hosting* to GitHub was what was decided at the last design summit, and that is the priority for Monty and Jim Blair. Blueprints and bugs will stay on Launchpad until other issues are resolved. I think that Monty and Jim can work together to make the code hosting switch happen in a timely manner (D3/end of July). If we can focus our energies on the code hosting part of the migration, and for the time being put aside any distraction of migrating bugs and blueprints, that would be a great help to Monty and Jim.
